@cayden Thank you very much.

Game & Watch games do not need a BIOS file. You just need to copy the files to the right folder and make sure they're correctly named - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Game-%26-Watch/.

@Impman66 said in Are those Game & Watch Titles (mgw) dumps or remakes ?:

I have quite a few now, somewhere in the house I have the original "Fire" which I have not yet been able to find.

I have a few as well like "ball" and "the exterminator" which sadly are not a part of the madrigal simulator set.

@Striderx99 not a chance. Madrigals simulations are very different than the low level code derived from decapping chips.

Sean riddle and algestam have been slowly adding game and watch titles to mame but you'll need both the dumped rom and latest version of mame to run it

You can see more details on the process on this guy's Twitter feed:

Thanks you for sharing the solution.
I have fixed the link to the Libretro assets page in the Wiki, hopefully in the future this will be useful for people trying out the Game & Watch emulator.

@mitu I went through the process of exiting emulation station and installing the scraper. I selected the gameand watch folder and attempted to scrape the games. It said games have been scraped but when I went back to emulation station there were no images for them. I don't know if it just did't find images or if somehow they didn't stay. I read the part about doing your own scraping. I am not sure how to do this as the instructions are a bit confusing and I am new to this sort of thing.

Check the Runcommand log at /dev/shm/runcommand.log and see if you have an error reported there, the file should appear after trying to run a game and you're thrown back to the ES menu.

@hyruleslink I just got lr-gw up and running myself and was thinking the same thing. A little googling and I found these. Honestly, I was hoping one of the scrapers had them already. I just finished missing artwork and metadata for Famicom Disk System and I’m really not looking forward to doing all that again by hand.

@derebo Hopefully someone creates more of these G&Ws. Still missing classics like Ball, Fire, Judge, Octopus, & Mario's Cement Factory.

As I know there are no dumped roms of this so MESS will not help I thik but some similar games are avilable.And what about handhelds from USSR , they have some similar to nintendo game and watches and some unique ones for example "Elektronika IM-12" Winnie the Pooh

@Javier unfortunately it's not that simple. Madrigal and the libretro team went through an extensive process of converting his original simulation to Lua, it was also obfuscated in conversion. So whatever simulation is the in the libretro repositories is what you get. The rest of the simulators you reference on that site seem to be flash but again you'd need to disassemble the actionscript code, port it to Lua and recompile into the proper filetype with the libretro core.
